Abstract
This research is focused on the critical role of the community in the conservation of built heritage and the lessons learned for successful execution of these projects.

Heritage is not only representing our past but also a reflection of the whole era that contributes to the identity of the place and people.

In this scenario the community involvement can play vital role for sustainable conservation projects.

The results emphasized the need for the community led heritage conservation. As these further covers more aspects like interpretation, participation and continuation of the heritage with cultural narratives. The study concluded with recommendations for paradigm shift in conservation of built heritage towards inclusive and participatory approaches to protect the living heritage cultural expressions.
